I hit ten sales this morning between eight and twelve, including two church sales, which are gold. Then I got all the junk off the front porch (Bruce cleaned the car by moving crap from one place to another), put a coat of primer on the sewing room walls (goodbye hideous orange faux-wood panelling), and am now sorting through todays take.

The list is mostly so I can remember what I purchased for whom, though there is an element of gloating involved. I so kicked ass!

Bruce went with me this morning, and we did even better...including a gorgeous taupe and maroon Eddie Bauer "special edition" (woo-hoo indeed) stroller for $5.

I priced it online and it goes for over $150.

Whoa! The closest we came was when the Professora [local LMB fan] found a book at the local library booksale for a quarter that listed for several hundred online. Of course, it had no dust jacket, but still--!
